“Roger loved staying with Kelly! He came home so happy, well-fed, and clean!! Kelly has a true love for animals and it shows. She provided us with updates, photos, and videos and they were a treat! Highly recommend :)”
“Chad was incredibly nice and such a pleasure to work with! My dog Sammy came back happy and relaxed after staying with Chad, and he was super sweet to send me pictures during Sammy’s stay!”
“Meera was great to work with, very responsive and flexible and sent lots of photos. Took Luna for nice long hikes and was thoughtful enough to ask about allergies before giving any new treats. Would book again!”
“My very energetic lab mix had so much fun with Alexandra. She kept him fetching his ball and well exercised. Alexandra was so easy and accommodating to work with. She was very flexible about drop off and pickup times. She sent pictures and videos every day to show how much fun they were having. I highly recommend Alexandra and will definitely use her again next time we need pet sitting services!”
“Sunday has been through a lot of difficult changes recently—a move, the loss of her doggy best friend and just normal growing up. Sunday is a sweet girl but can be high energy, anxious and a little mischievous. Megan and Jenny handled Sunday like absolute pros. Sunday was entertained with walks and lots of play time in their sweet house/yard. Jenny + Megan are responsible, reliant, and absolutely in love with their dog friends, not to mention flexible and easy-going—they treated Sunday like their own and I feel so thankful to have found such loving people to look after my girl. From the very first interaction they have been so responsive and accommodating! I hope to rebook them again soon, just so Sunday can get her fix!”
“I’m always nervous before leaving Ollie while I travel but Korin makes it so easy! She accommodates Ollie’s needs and makes sure he feels safe and secure which is such a relief as the owner of a skittish dog.”
“Nikita & Anthony are amazing dog sitters. I trusted them completely to take care of my older dog while I was out of town. Really sweet people and excellent communication- clearly dog lovers. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Hy & Arlo took amazing care of my sensitive pup Henry. They were incredibly sweet and thoughtful in our initial meetings and I could tell that Henry had been well cared for during his stay as he was relaxed and happy upon pick up and had clearly bonded with them both (which is rare for him!). I ( and Henry!) would book with them again in a heartbeat!”
“Our dog stayed with Lee twice and had the best time ever. Lee is so trustworthy, kind, and warm. Our dog is nervous and showed no signs of fear around Lee or the other pups in her care, she immediately ran around like she was at home. Lee provided updates and photos and helped give us a peace of mind while we were on vacation and away from our girl. LEE IS THE BEST!”
“Our Miss Lexie had a wonderful stay. Chawntea treated our baby girl like family. She made new furry friends, which helps her socialization skills. Chawntea was so flexible with our ever-changing travel plans. Shout out to Southwest. She sent updates and pics while we were away, which brought smiles to our faces. Without a doubt, we will be using her services in the future.”
“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”
“Astrid was a lifesaver! The dog sitter for my active Aussie Shepard/pitbull mix had a medical emergency and she agreed to watch my Lola on a week’s notice. Lola can be a handful (she is very hyper until she gets used to people and is reactive towards other dogs) but Astrid and her family were so sweet and patient to Lola that she settled in quickly. Astrid provided updates regularly which reassured Lola was well loved. Will definitely hire Astrid again to dog sit Lola since Lola had such a great time!”
“Beth and Jeff took amazing care of my dog Fatima. I was nervous leaving her because I have only left her once before. However, Beth and Jeff have an amazing house with a huge backyard and allow the dogs free range of the area. In addition they allow the dogs to choose their sleep place. It was important to me that Fatima would not be crated during her stay. Beth and Jeff sent many updates with pictures showing Fatima’s playtime and rest time and eating. They even provided her with a slow feeder when they noticed she ate too fast! Amazing care takers who clearly care about my dogs well being and health and who want to ensure your dog has the best experience while they stay with them. It is evident they love dogs, understand dog behavior, how to read dog communication, and how to help dogs feel comfortable and adjust to the environment while they stay there. I highly recommend Beth and Jeff and will use their services again in the future. THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving me peace of mind while I was away! And thank you so much for giving Fatima a safe and amazing stay with you guys! I am so incredibly grateful. 🙏 ❤️”
“Kate and her family were wonderful! We just moved and Grizzly was a bit stressed. He settled in immediately at their house and had plenty of play time. I appreciated the regular updates and picture while we were away. Thank you!”
“Kennia was so helpful with Maya! Very attentive, sweet and communicative. My dog is very energetic and Kennia knew exactly what to do having lots of experience! Highly recommend!”
“Mariola took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of town on vacation. Her home setting for a few small dogs worked out well for our small, sweet, and shy cavapoo. We appreciated the periodic updates she provided about our dog during our trip as well.”
“Matthew and VJ were so good with Lily. They treated her like one of their own dogs, giving her treats and lots of cuddles. Lily also really enjoyed playing with their dogs. I can tell Lily likes them, and I'll definitely have them take care of her in the future.”

“This was the first time Sydney dropped in on my cat Mystery for me. From the start in it was a great experience. Sydney has great energy, good communication and showed genuine care for my cat Mystery. I recieved a detailed update with pictures. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Madeline was very conscientious and thorough in caring for our cats and was quick to follow up on communication. We felt ok about leaving knowing she was taking good care of them.”
“Melissa is a wonderful sitter! I could tell Poppy was happy when I got home. Melissa was communicative, careful, pleasant, and took lovely pictures. I would invite her to sit again any time!!”
“Christine is simply the best! She’s smart, a great communicator, and loves animals. And, a really nice person besides. She inspires trust. On her first visit, both our dog and cat glommed onto her as if she were an old friend. Christine took great care of our home and cat while we were away. We recommend our without reservation.”
“Avery was great! Our cats just loved her as shown in the photos we received. She was on time, followed instructions, kept everything clean, and was a great communicator. We felt safe leaving our pets in her hand. We highly recommend Avery and will definitely book her again.”
“Maia was very easy to coordinate with and took great care of our cats! She was very flexible and responsive. We hope to have her take care of our cats again!”
“My two cats love Anais! Even the shy/anti-social one comes out to greet Anais. We have booked Anais twice and both times we returned home to two happy and healthy cats. We would happily rebook and highly recommend Anais!”
“Cara was so caring, responsive, and also very responsible. I was initially worried about leaving my cat for two weeks but I left him in very good hands with Cara. I especially appreciated all the photos she sent and the little daily updates! My cat loved her. I was able to relax knowing that I had a very sweet and reliable sitter.”
“Nicola and Mike are the best pet-sitters we could have ever hoped for. They are not only delightful people, but also took such amazing care of our cats and went above and beyond our expectations. They provide excellent communication, updates at every visit (with fun bonus pictures of the mess our cats made), and even cleaned up after our kitties which was not required but very appreciated. They took time to get to know our cats and their unique personalities , and bonded with them in a very short time. I can’t recommend them highly enough and will be booking with them in the future.”
“Melina did a great job taking care of our kitties! She was very dependable, communicative, and always on time. I really enjoyed the photos she sent and how she was able to find our most shy cat in his hiding spots. I highly recommend her!”
“Vania was so sweet with our 8 mo old puppies! We felt at ease during our travels. She took them on long walks and even gave them a bath since the days were quite warm. Thank you again Vania!”
About: With 10+ years of animal care experience — including 4 years as a veterinary assistant — I’m especially experienced with seniors, anxious or shy pets, and those needing medications or extra TLC. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like my own. Providing care for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle — my schedule is intentionally flexible so I can be available when your pets need me most. Whether you need help during long workdays, weekend trips, or last-minute schedule changes, I’m happy to accommodate a wide range of needs. Let me know what your pet’s routine looks like — I’ll do my best to match it, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Within the client's home, I do everything I can to make their pets feel safe, seen, and loved. I know how important it is to maintain their routine and environment, especially for pets who thrive on familiarity. I take time to build trust, go at their pace, and make sure they feel comfortable with me in their space. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, extended visit, or overnight stay, I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s boundaries. I always follow instructions carefully, provide updates along the way, and make sure your pet is happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. For the health and safety of your pet, I kindly ask that clients provide their own grooming tools — including brushes, combs, nail clippers, styptic powder, and any other essentials your pet is familiar with. Using your pet’s personal tools helps prevent the spread of bacteria, and ensures a safe, and hygienic experience. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.
“Edward has been great with our pup Suzie and is always welcoming feedback on his services. He is a reliable and communicative dog walker and has a lot of experience with dogs 🐕”
“Natasha did drop in visits for my 2 skittish cats. She was prompt in replying to my inquiry. She followed the care instructions for the kitties. I will use her services again.”
About: Rover is an amazing thing in my family's life. Our whole household REALLY LOVES DOGS. We love all the different dog personalities we get to know. We genuinely appreciate pet families trusting us to care for their pet(s). Boarding is our most used and preferred service of the Tree House. We have many regular clients who use our Boarding and Doggy Day Care services. We love all sizes of dogs and the full range of dog personalities. We host up to 3 guest dogs at a time and are very conscientious of the dogs we host and how they will interact. Therefore, if your dog does not do well with other dogs, our house may not be a great fit for your pet. We get requests for exclusive bookings, and where we can accommodate these requests, we will. ****price for exclusive bookings is 2X our service rate, boarding or day care slot**** We require all new clients to do a meet-&-greet, so we can only accommodate last-minute new clients if we get a solid referral from another sitter, you are a friend of the family, or one of our regular clients referred you. We have found our guests do much better when they have been here and sniffed about before their stay. Your dog(s) will be loved and treated with the utmost respect by every member of our household and any other guests. Our home is very relaxed, and our backyard is a dog paradise with lots of shade and different areas for dogs to claim their own space. We always have a crew of dogs, so your dog will have plenty of stimulation and exercise while at our home. We work from home and are here nearly all the time. Pickup and drop-off times are flexible—the key is communication and consideration—fees may apply where either is lacking. The yard has plenty of room for guests to stretch it out and find their own space. We are happy to accommodate crating, and problem children will have some sort of time out until they can ground and be good guests. We are not disciplinarians but are pretty good at setting boundaries thru timeouts and rewards.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Upper Laurel
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“I had a great experience with Korin! I left Maru with her for a few hours while we went out for a late dinner. Our dinner ran a little longer than expected, but she was so understanding and patient. We really appreciated their flexibility and kindness. Would definitely book with them again! ❤️”
“Chad took excellent care of my young and energetic greyhound with a lot of separation anxiety. When I picked her up she was happy and excited, but she didn’t show any signs of distress. Prior to my dog’s stay at his home Chad had invited us over for a meet&greet and he took a lot of time to inquire about my dog’s character and behaviors, which made me very confident that things would be alright. Chad was also willing to accommodated my travel schedule. I am happy with the experience and hope he will be available next time I have to go out of town.”
“Sydney treated my dog as her own. Her space for them is lovely and she is kind and very accommodating to pets needs. I would bring my senior dog here again for sure ! Highly recommend”
“Meera took great care of my mini poodle puppy. She took him for a walk and paid special attention to his needs as a puppy who is too rambunctious at times. Meera was great to interact with because she is kind and thoughtful. I recommend her highly!”
“I cannot recommend Andre highly enough! From the meet and greet, it was clear he was a true dog lover and incredibly professional. He took wonderful care of our dog Charlie, and provided updates with photos. It was such a relief he was in such good hands. We will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend him!”
About: We've designed our experience a little differently than most. Rather than filling our home with multiple unfamiliar dogs, we intentionally host just one dog (or one family's dogs) at a time. We made this decision because we know separation can be hard. Our goal is to give every guest a calm, relaxing vacation while giving their humans peace of mind knowing their pup has our full attention. My husband Cameron and I have both been around animals our entire lives and have experience with puppies, seniors, bulldogs, and dogs with special needs. We also have two young kids (ages 3 & 6) who absolutely love animals and know how to be gentle and respectful around them. Whether your dog loves hiking, backyard sniff sessions, playing fetch, or simply curling up on the couch for a nap, we'll happily match their pace. We'll also send plenty of photos and updates throughout their stay because we know being away from your dog isn't always easy. We'd love to meet you both! We keep our schedule intentionally flexible so we can build our day around your dog's routine instead of expecting them to adjust to ours. Your dog's safety is our number one priority. Our backyard is fully fenced and we supervise outdoor time closely. Because we have young children, we've already built our home around safety. Medications, chemicals, and anything potentially dangerous stay locked away, and as a gardener I'm always mindful of which plants are safe and which aren't. If your dog joins us for a walk or an adventure, they'll always be on leash and right by our side. They won't be left unattended anytime, ever. We don't take guest dogs to dog parks or introduce them to unfamiliar dogs. We prefer controlled environments where we know exactly what's going on. We know leaving your dog with someone new can feel stressful. We take that responsibility seriously and will care for them like one of our own.
“As a first time Rover user, we hit the jackpot with Juliana and Katherine. It was our pup’s first experience at daycare (he thought it was a play date); and he had so much fun and adventure. He was so excited to go the next day that he pulled me up the stairs to their house. He had two sweet pups to play with and a fun yard to explore. Juliana was very attentive and shared pictures; I didn’t have any worries. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog had day care with Krishna this week and we’ll definitely plan to book ongoing daycare her again! They went on walks around the neighborhood and at the nearby park. Chili got to sleep around the house, deck, and on her lap!”
About: I grew up with 6 pit bulls, taking sun baths with them in my backyard. I’ve volunteered in SF SPCA and donate monthly. My best friend aka Herita is a rescue, she’s been with me for over 3 years now. I believe animals have taught me how to love unconditionally and responsibly. Calm, trust and safety are my top priorities. I hope you give me the chance to connect with you and your fur baby/ babies. I work from home. I normally take Hera on a walk every morning for about 30 mins. Come back and hit the gym. After that I’m free. I can always head over in the am, afternoon or evenings. I have a fenced yard, Herita is spayed and loves to play with other dogs. Her bff is a 3 y/o Doberman. Which I take care of a couple of times a week (take her out on walks and feed her)
“Lynn is so attentive and kind. Would highly recommend!! She sent so many photos, went on a long hike with my high energy dog, and my dog came home exhausted I know she had a blast.”
“Kai and I enjoyed Chawntea so much that we rebooked. As a first time furbaby mom it’s hard to just leave my baby with anyone. I am so glad to have found her.”
“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”
“Asha has been amazing with my pup, Rahi. She communicates super well and genuinely loves dogs. I get pictures and videos through the day and I’m so much at peace leaving my Rahi with her. Highly, highly recommend!!”
“Bernie had such a lovely time with the crew! Kim and Jeff were so lovely, patient, and kind to him. We received plenty of photo and text updates throughout the day, which made us feel so confident about leaving our fur baby with separation anxiety in their care. Highly recommend ?”
“Another great day with Tamara and Sidney! My puppy bounds out of the car when we show up at her house and comes home happy, tired, and well-taken care of. She is amazing!”
“Gabe and his wife Darra were so good with our dog Wesley (golden retriever). I loved the amount of update pics we got and how attentive they were. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Shanley was very sweet with Ruby. She was very thorough in asking questions to ensure she could take good care of Ruby during the day. We got great photos and updates during the day. And Ruby came back so happy!”
About: I'm a very responsible middle-aged woman who works from home and would be happy to care for your fur baby. Eventually I'll get a dog of my own! Our household consists of me and my partner, Rocky. We both grew up with pets, but currently don't have any. I work about 15-25 hours a week from home so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks around the neighborhood and trips to the Alameda dog park. My partner and I are homebodies and enjoy spending time working on our house and gardening. I have a fenced in yard and several rooms of my house can be sectioned off to allow for large spaces to hang out, if the dog needs it's own space. I also have plenty of room to set up a crate. I do not have any pets. I would love to get a dog, but I travel to Vancouver 4 times a year to visit my mom in long term care and occasionally I have to travel for a week or more for work and I don't want to leave a pet for that long. My partner goes to the office Monday - Friday.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I currently have a dog of my own and understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. When I moved my dad to California so I could become his full-time caregiver, bringing his dog with us was never a question. He’s an important part of our family and daily life. I previously had another beloved dog from the age of 13 through 27, giving me experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I’m comfortable providing patient, attentive care and making sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. As someone who genuinely loves animals, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own dog, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention are already built into my schedule. Because I have a flexible schedule right now, I’m able to provide pets with extra attention, companionship, and care throughout the day rather than just fitting them in between other commitments. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or keeping a pet company while their owner is away, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while their owners are away. For walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each pet’s individual needs are met. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and help them feel secure. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.
About: I have experience with cats who are particularly anxious, I am able to provide much more than just feeding and regular care tasks. I have experience with emotional regulation for anxious cats and dogs , and I’m able to provide extra attention through extended stays, diverse kinds of play, and overnight care. I also have prior experience with elderly dogs who need special accommodation. I work only 2 days a week, and have a very open flexible schedule at the moment. I can provide a wide range of services, my most notable experience is working with anxious pets who need extra attention and love! For dogs, I prefer to take dogs on multiple walks (ideally 3 walks per day) to encourage lots of activity, I can encourage socializing if needed. For cats, I love to drop in and play, give affection or just coexist as needed!
“Laura has helped us care for our senior dog in the most loving way! She provided daily walks for Delilah, she was always prompt, had great communication, and put my mind at ease.”
“Milo loved Haylee! He even shared his favorite toy with her. Haylee is awesome - she kept me updated and sent me lots of great pics of their adventures! Will certainly be asking for her help again! Milo will be excited to see her.”
About: Gentle (or jumpy!) giants are my specialty. I’ve spent the last 15 years sharing my life with Bullmastiffs, Dogues de Bordeaux and Cane Corsos from puppyhood to passing. Medium dogs are great but the big boys and girls are my heart. All ages welcome. My home is 100% set up for dog life. I’m retired from my full-time career but still work very part-time as a CrossFit coach, and also workout daily. Mornings I’m at the gym but home between classes and all afternoon. I have time for potty in the morning and awesome walks in the afternoon. Of course, cuddle and play time included! I have a fully fenced back yard, a dog run for their business, and a big dog bed in my living room. I have plenty of sanitized toys. Basically my home is set up to share with dogs. Unfortunately, my last baby crossed the rainbow bridge last September so I’m taking this opportunity to care for yours.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers for years and genuinely love being around animals. I’m dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s personality and routine. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, playtime, crate routines, and giving pets extra patience and attention so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I always make sure owners receive regular updates and photos. I work full-time during the week but have flexibility in my schedule for pet care before and after work, on weekends, and for check-ins throughout the week depending on location. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, staying active, and making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to keeping consistent routines for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and home, so I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level to help them feel secure and stress-free. I keep owners updated with photos and messages, closely follow feeding and medication instructions, and always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for with patience and attention. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful, clean, dependable, and focused on maintaining a calm environment for pets.
“Juliana was wonderful with our shy pup Chami! She took him on lovely walks in the woods and has great energy with dogs. She is highly punctual and reliable. Would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve loved animals since childhood and have over 10 years of experience in pet care. I approach pets with both confidence and affection.

I’ve trained and walked dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to bull breeds in the neighborhoods and along nature trails. I’ve also taken dog training classes and have volunteered at the Oakland SPCA. I’ve trained puppies, and I’ve cared for older pets. I’m here to meet your pet’s care needs with compassion, reliability, and the experience they deserve. I’m looking for work. I can do in the afternoon and or evenings Monday through Friday and occasionally weekends. I am also available for late night check-in if you need it. I offer dog walking and dog/cat sitting. I will closely follow the routines and instructions shared to ensure your pets care is up to you and your pets standards
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities for over three years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away.

I have experience following feeding schedules, giving basic care, and providing extra attention to puppies and senior dogs. I always treat pets as if they were my own. I’m currently a nursing student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. I enjoy spending quality time with pets, making sure they get attention, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm environment and make sure pets are always supervised and secure. As a nursing student, I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable monitoring behavior changes and overall well-being. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and love.
“Elyse was amazing! Our normal dog walker bailed on us last minute, so we needed someone fast. Elyse went above and beyond making sure our dogs were comfortable with her and had great communication with us. She is super sweet and our pitties love her!!!”
“Natasha has been awesome with my fur baby. He enjoys his outing with her, she is attentive to belly rubs and giving my baby love while in her care. Very responsive to my crazy work schedule and stays in communication with me if any changes. I look forward to continued care with her!!”
About: With 10+ years of animal care experience — including 4 years as a veterinary assistant — I’m especially experienced with seniors, anxious or shy pets, and those needing medications or extra TLC. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like my own. Providing care for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle — my schedule is intentionally flexible so I can be available when your pets need me most.

“Chad was incredibly nice and such a pleasure to work with! My dog Sammy came back happy and relaxed after staying with Chad, and he was super sweet to send me pictures during Sammy’s stay!”
“Meera was great to work with, very responsive and flexible and sent lots of photos. Took Luna for nice long hikes and was thoughtful enough to ask about allergies before giving any new treats. Would book again!”
“My very energetic lab mix had so much fun with Alexandra. She kept him fetching his ball and well exercised. Alexandra was so easy and accommodating to work with. She was very flexible about drop off and pickup times. She sent pictures and videos every day to show how much fun they were having. I highly recommend Alexandra and will definitely use her again next time we need pet sitting services!”
“Sunday has been through a lot of difficult changes recently—a move, the loss of her doggy best friend and just normal growing up. Sunday is a sweet girl but can be high energy, anxious and a little mischievous. Megan and Jenny handled Sunday like absolute pros. Sunday was entertained with walks and lots of play time in their sweet house/yard. Jenny + Megan are responsible, reliant, and absolutely in love with their dog friends, not to mention flexible and easy-going—they treated Sunday like their own and I feel so thankful to have found such loving people to look after my girl. From the very first interaction they have been so responsive and accommodating! I hope to rebook them again soon, just so Sunday can get her fix!”
“Hy & Arlo took amazing care of my sensitive pup Henry. They were incredibly sweet and thoughtful in our initial meetings and I could tell that Henry had been well cared for during his stay as he was relaxed and happy upon pick up and had clearly bonded with them both (which is rare for him!). I ( and Henry!) would book with them again in a heartbeat!”
“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”
“Astrid was a lifesaver! The dog sitter for my active Aussie Shepard/pitbull mix had a medical emergency and she agreed to watch my Lola on a week’s notice. Lola can be a handful (she is very hyper until she gets used to people and is reactive towards other dogs) but Astrid and her family were so sweet and patient to Lola that she settled in quickly. Astrid provided updates regularly which reassured Lola was well loved. Will definitely hire Astrid again to dog sit Lola since Lola had such a great time!”
“Beth and Jeff took amazing care of my dog Fatima. I was nervous leaving her because I have only left her once before. However, Beth and Jeff have an amazing house with a huge backyard and allow the dogs free range of the area. In addition they allow the dogs to choose their sleep place. It was important to me that Fatima would not be crated during her stay. Beth and Jeff sent many updates with pictures showing Fatima’s playtime and rest time and eating. They even provided her with a slow feeder when they noticed she ate too fast! Amazing care takers who clearly care about my dogs well being and health and who want to ensure your dog has the best experience while they stay with them. It is evident they love dogs, understand dog behavior, how to read dog communication, and how to help dogs feel comfortable and adjust to the environment while they stay there. I highly recommend Beth and Jeff and will use their services again in the future. THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving me peace of mind while I was away! And thank you so much for giving Fatima a safe and amazing stay with you guys! I am so incredibly grateful. 🙏 ❤️”
“Kate and her family were wonderful! We just moved and Grizzly was a bit stressed. He settled in immediately at their house and had plenty of play time. I appreciated the regular updates and picture while we were away. Thank you!”
“Kennia was so helpful with Maya! Very attentive, sweet and communicative. My dog is very energetic and Kennia knew exactly what to do having lots of experience! Highly recommend!”
“Jessie and Cade did a great Job at Dog sitting. This was our first time and we are glad we found someone so good very close to our place to take care of Riley. They took Riley for nice walks around the neighborhood and provided us with regular updates via pics. They were also very flexible and reliable both during pick up and drop off. Riley would definitely love to stay with them again!!! :)”
“Robert and Brian were incredibly accommodating of me and Riley, kept me super up to date on Riley's day to day, gave her tons of attention, and were very easy to work with. They are very respectful of my needs and Riley's during the stay. Very grateful to have booked with them, I will definitely be working with them again in the future”
“Our pup had a great time with this loving family! Maria is very communicative and sent updates throughout the stay, and the girls are so sweet and gentle with our dog! I’m sure she’ll be excited to see them again!”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and kittens my whole life and continued adopting them as an adult — animals have always been at the heart of my home! I’ve raised and trained a puppy from 8 weeks old, cared for up to 3 medium-sized dogs at a time, and have experience housing and caring for rabbits, birds, and reptiles too. 🐶🐱🐰🦜🐸🦎 Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, loving home where they’ll be treated like family! I’m also a pet parent myself — my 1-year-old pup and 9-year-old cat are both incredibly friendly with people and other animals and absolutely love making new friends. They’re always excited to welcome new furry guests! 🐕🐈 I believe pet sitting is so much more than just filling a food bowl twice a day — it’s about being real company for your pet. Surrounded by cozy blankets, their favorite toys from home, and plenty of love, your pet will feel comfortable and right at ease from the moment they arrive. I’m happy to provide multiple daily walks and plenty of undivided attention throughout the day!
About: I offer a quieter, more individualized kind of dog sitting. I only take dogs from one household at a time, so your dog won’t be sharing the space with a rotating group of other dogs. That allows me to give them a lot of individual attention and to keep their routine as familiar as possible. I’m a licensed acupuncturist and a therapist in training, so being reliable and observant is a big part of my professional life. I’m also very conscientious about following your instructions closely. I know how much the little details matter, and I make a point of keeping track of feeding schedules, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, and the routines that help your dog feel at home. I have firsthand experience caring for an anxious dog who later developed dementia and physical limitations. Because of that, I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and dogs who are sensitive or easily overwhelmed. I understand how much patience and consistency can matter when a dog needs extra support. I’m especially available on weekends, when I can spend plenty of time with your dog rather than fitting visits around a packed schedule. Depending on their personality and energy level, we might have a quiet day at home, take neighborhood walks, or head out to places like Piedmont Park, the Albany Bulb, or the beach. I want your dog to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, and I want you to feel completely confident that someone is really paying attention to them. Pet care fits best into my schedule on weekends, when I have plenty of time to give dogs attention, walks, companionship, and a relaxed home environment. I’m generally available from Friday evening through Sunday and can often accommodate weekend boarding or daytime care. During the week I work a regular professional schedule, so I’m intentional about only accepting bookings when I know I can provide the time and attention a pet needs. When a dog is staying with me, I want them to be part of my routine rather than squeezed into it. I take safety and trust seriously and make a point of following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment and make sure dogs have appropriate supervision, regular walks and potty breaks, fresh water, and plenty of attention. I’m careful about feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, and any behavioral or health concerns you share with me. I also like to know about a dog’s personality, triggers, routines, and preferences ahead of time so I can help them feel comfortable and settled. If I’m caring for a pet in your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow your instructions closely. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
